About the Libraries

The Central Carolina Community College (CCCC) Libraries cater to students, faculty, and staff across Chatham, Harnett, and Lee counties through main campus libraries in each location. A joint-use library, the Chatham Community Library, was established in partnership with Chatham County, serving both CCCC students and the public.

CCCC is part of the Community College Libraries in North Carolina (CCLINC) consortium, allowing online access to the CCLINC Catalog for library users to search and request materials from CCCC Libraries and 50 other community college libraries. Cooperative agreements provide CCCC students with borrowing privileges at public libraries in Harnett and Lee counties, as well as Campbell University.

The libraries boast a diverse collection of resources, including thousands of books and audiovisual materials in print and digital formats. Over 80 online databases, including NC LIVE, offer access to full-text articles, eBooks, audiobooks, videos, and more.
